Default Radon Testing in Pennsylvania

OK, so you need to be certified in PA just to put out Prolabs Radon canisters for testing?

Has anyone done this and gotten a letter from DEP about a fine, I have. Let me know how you made out.
Thanks

Tom, are you saying that you put canisters out and then received a letter from your state about a fine? I would say if your state is regulated for radon testing then yes, even if you are just settings canisters, you need the license.

Tom,

You require a Radon license in PA no matter how you do the testing or what you use.
